Install gotoHuman MCP in your MCP client

gotoHuman MCP is a Model Context Protocol server. Add it to your MCP client config once, restart, and the server's tools become available to your AI assistant. The same JSON snippet below works across all four major clients — only the config file path differs.

  1. Locate your client's MCP config file.
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • VS Code: Settings → Extensions → MCP
    • Windsurf: Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Add gotoHuman MCP to the mcpServers map — paste the snippet below into your config file. If you already have other MCP servers, merge the entry into the existing mcpServers object.
  3. Restart your client so it picks up the new server.
  4. Verify — ask the assistant to list available tools; gotoHuman MCP's tools should appear.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gotohuman-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}

Tools exposed by gotoHuman MCP

Once installed, gotoHuman MCP exposes the following MCP tools to your AI assistant. Each tool can be called directly by the assistant whenever its capability is relevant to your prompt.

  • get-form-schema

  • request-human-review-with-form

Required environment variables

gotoHuman MCP needs the following environment variables set before it can run. Add them to the env block of your mcpServers entry, or export them in your shell before launching the client.
